24/06/1878 bound for Adelaide, Australia from Lyttelton, New Zealand, the ship struck a severe storm and was run on to Waitarere Beach on the west coast of North Island to give the crew and passengers a better chance of survival. No lives lost. Attempts were made to refloat the vessel but she was eventually abandoned.(British registry not closed until c1885)Remains gradually disintegrated, but some still remain.
